The increasing deployment of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) is transforming the traditional architecture of electrical power systems. Distributed generation infrastructures include a wide range of renewable and decentralised production facilities. |
The integration of renewable energy systems and distributed generation introduces new operational challenges for power system control and grid stability. Coordination between generation facilities and network control systems requires advanced monitoring, control and communication infrastructures. |
The IEC 61850 standard has progressively been extended to support communication and information modelling for renewable generation systems and distributed energy infrastructures. It provides standardized models describing control functions, data exchanges and communication services between distributed generation facilities and power system control infrastructures. |
MODSARUS supports the formal modelling of control functions, system interactions and data flows within distributed generation infrastructures. Using a structured UML modelling approach, MODSARUS enables the specification of functional architectures while maintaining consistency with IEC 61850 information models. |
